It is important for us (European Union) not to give a signal that we will be blackmailed by Putin. - Robert Habeck

Translation: Patriotism, that is love of the fatherland, always made me feel vomity. I didn't know what to do with Germany and still don't know to this day.

We have a land war in Europe that we thought was only to find in history books. It is a flagrant breach of international law. For Russia, this attack (against Ukraine) will have severe political and economic consequences.

Patriotismus, Vaterlandsliebe also, fand ich stets zum Kotzen. Ich wusste mit Deutschland nichts anzufangen und weiß es bis heute nicht.
